Guidance for choosing the right protein binder design tool. Use this skill when: (1) Deciding between BoltzGen, BindCraft, or RFdiffusion, (2) Planning a binder design campaign, (3) Understanding trade-offs between different approaches, (4) Selecting tools for specific target types. For specific tool parameters, use the individual tool skills (boltzgen, bindcraft, rfdiffusion, etc.).

Recommended Pipeline: BoltzGen → Chai → QC

BoltzGen provides all-atom design with built-in side-chain packing:

2. Hotspot selection

  • Choose 3-6 exposed residues
  • Prefer charged/aromatic residues
  • Cluster spatially (within 10-15A)

Use cases

  • Use binder-design in research workflows aligned with this subject area.
  • Follow the upstream documentation for the full working procedure.

Not for

  • Do not rely on this catalog entry alone for installation or maintenance details.
